Everyone was glued to Alaric, waiting on him to say the next words out of his mouth.
But before he could continue, Reena raised her hand. "If this matter involves everyone, then where is Michael?" she asked.
Although not officially part of the Major and Minor Factions, Michael had long proven himself to be at their level at the very least.
"I have sent him a letter and even personally visited his store in Metropolis. But according to his companions, he is currently away on business.
This is the same for the Duchess. She should be here right now, but I was unable to get a hold of her even through courier pigeons."
Those two figures were the only ones not present in this meeting.
"Is the Duchess okay? She's been out of Metropolis for a really long extended period," said Lucius.
Unbeknownst to all of them, the Duchess was currently enjoying her vacation in the Nation of Reborn.
